I have been trying to post something new about our trip and am not even sure where I left off, but internet is expensive in the hotel and during the day we are too busy soaking up the sights of London to stop at a cheaper cafe!
Anyways, to sum up quickly, we are on our last day here in London. We have really enjoyed the stopover here and have really tried to make the most of our five days.
We went to Kensington Gardens, Buckingham Palace, have taken the Jack the Ripper tour, stopped in numerous historic pubs and also eaten a fair amount of curry.
We rented a car on Monday and drove to Stonehenge (though it was FREEZING and rainy) and Bath (though we arrived just after the Roman baths closed). It was a good day for the car as we didn't really bring winter appropriate clothing with us!
Anyways, tomorrow we will be up at 5:30 am on the tube for the last leg of our journey home!!! We are excited to see everyone in Canada and can't wait until our arrival at 12:20pm tomorrow.
See you soon!!!

Now in London...
But before that, let me bring you up to date on the rest of our trip!
On Feb 1 we journeyed to Vilanculos - the journey wasn't the smoothest and involved a half an hour on the back of a pick up, then a 20 minute 'ferry' ride on a diesel glugging old boat loaded up like a minibus...once we arrived in Maxixe, we boarded the slowest Chapa (minibus in Moz) in the world and the four hour trip ended up taking six hours.
We arranged snorkelling the next day, trying for a speedboad but ending up travelling to the reef by dhow. The company was good and the snorkelling was amazing. We also stopped at a huge sand dune that we climbed up - pictures are cool.
The next day we boarded a bus straight to Maputo (yay) as I wanted to celebrate my birthday there - it was a bit of a trying day though as the bus was over ten hours and had a small cockroach problem!
We remaned Feb 4 as my birthday and I was treated to a lovely breakfast and we went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. We really enjoy Maputos vibe but were unfortunately not able to find a great club to go to.
Friday, we travelled to London where we are cozied up in a little hotel...spent yesteday walking around and plan the same for today....it is COLD!
